MG811 CO2 sensor:
- Setup: 6V over heater; A-B connection to GND and Analog0 pin (Arduino board)
- SW: AnalogReadSerial standard Sketch
- Result: 250mV measured over A-B; Which would mean around 30.000 ppm
- Improvement: Add OpAmp for higher input resistance; Add onboard 6V supply
MH-Z14 CO2 Module
- PWM signal seems to work the best and have the most resolution
- response time is less than 30 s
- 3 minute warm up time
- Seems to need extra power - works when laptop is plugged in, not when working on battery power.
MQ-2 CH4 Sensor
- 24 hour warm up time
- need to solder extra wire to access analog output
